I am not an ant thief in the Three Kingdoms

Work hard for four years, early August.

Zhang Baiqi walked on the road to Wudu County with an army of 3! After 10 days, [-] troops entered Wudu to rest and reorganize. At the same time, they also saw Ma Chao who came back!

Ma Chao explained in detail the topography of the road from Xiabian Plateau to Guangrou County in Shu County!And said to Zhang Baiqi: "There are only a few small Qiang tribes on this road. The army has no way to get supplies, and they can't dispatch cavalry. They can only rely on the food and grass we occupy. If we need equipment that has specially made swamps, Bring plenty of dry food and water."

Zhang Baiqi said to himself: "I have never been short of food and grass since I worked hard!"

But Ma Chao shook his head and said: "3 people are too many. It's not a matter of lack of food and grass. Even if we prepare enough food and grass outside the swamp, we can only rely on the food brought by the soldiers themselves to enter the swamp. There is also very little dry land that can accommodate 3000 people to set up a camp. The marching force on this route is preferably about 1 people, and the maximum is no more than [-] people. "

Zhang Baiqi knew that he didn't know as much about plateaus and swamps as Ma Chao did, and that the battle in the future was not the main thing, and the march was the most critical part of this war.

Even if there are only 1 people entering Shuzhong, the appearance of these 2 people in Chengdu is enough to cause the entire Shuzhong to collapse. Zhang Baiqi does not believe that Shuzhong has fought for more than [-] years. How much morale is there now? The gentry can continue to persevere, and it doesn't matter if there are fewer troops!
So Zhang Baiqi ordered Ma Chao to be his own staff, responsible for the army's logistics. Zhang Baiqi's army stayed in Xiabian for another month. Ma Chao helped Zhang Baiqi's army arrange enough logistics equipment and supplies. After all the preparations were made, Zhang Baiqi led an army of 1 to the plateau!

Work hard for four years, early September.

Hanzhong, Micang Mountain Camp!

Liu Bei frowned and saw the letter brought from Jingzhou. There was not much change on the battlefield in Hanzhong, but the occupation of Jingzhou and Yangzhou changed in a direction that was unfavorable to the big man.

In the direction of Jingzhou, although Zhang Fei's army has continued to use Funiu Mountain as a fortification to resist Yang Feng's attack, Funiu Mountain is not as dangerous as Micang Mountain after all, and Zhang Fei is not as good as the Dagan Army not only in terms of the number of soldiers, equipment, and artillery , the Funiu Mountain camp was only guarded for a month before being breached by Yang Feng.

And after Yang Feng's 20 troops rushed into Nanyang County, the soldiers in Zhang Fei's hands became even more irresistible. Almost every 2-3 days, Jingzhou would lose a county seat. At this rate, it would take less than a month. Feng's army is about to reach Xiangyang, and Fancheng can only rely on the defense line of the Yangtze River to resist!

Now Liu Bei has to worry about whether Xiangyang and Fancheng can be defended. If these two cities cannot be defended, the large army will enter the south of the Yangtze River, and the entire Jingzhou will have no troops to resist Yang Feng's 20 troops.

On the front line of Yangzhou, Guan Yu was also uncomfortable. After Fan Xian occupied Qiantang County, he continued to attack the city and seize territory, and soon occupied a large number of counties in Wu County and Kuaiji County. Moreover, Wang Lei from Xuzhou was still continuously transporting troops to Kuaiji County. Now The Dagan army in Kuaiji County exceeded 5 people. Guan Yu led the Yangzhou army to confront Wang Lei's army. Although the expansion of the Dagan army in Yangzhou can still be restricted, Liu Bei knows that as Wang Lei's reinforcements continue to arrive in Yangzhou , his second brother will not be able to defend Yangzhou sooner or later, the difference in strength between the two sides is too great.

Facing the situation in Jiangnan, Liu Bei smiled wryly and said to Yuan Ji: "We are a bit superfluous. Don't talk about supporting us now in Jiangnan. It may not be possible to defeat the 40 troops in the south of the Yangtze River!"

Yuan Ji said bitterly: "The gap between a big man and a big man is too big, and it is getting bigger and bigger. The army we worked so hard to build is not the enemy of a big man!"

Faced with this situation, Yuan Ji didn't even know what to say!The difference in strength is too large. Even if they support a 30-strong army, it is very difficult, but Lei Gong can easily launch a 20-strong army in Jiangnan, not to mention the 40 troops in Hanzhong. This is the Hanzhong War that has been going on for two years. Daqian court is too powerful!
Liu Bei said sadly: "Could it be that the great man died like this, how should we face the previous emperors of the great Han under the nine springs!"

At this time, Liu Bei is about to collapse. Although the grain in Shuzhong can still support him for half a year, Jiangnan will soon fall. When Jiangnan falls, Shuzhong will face a siege of 60 troops. Shuzhong is impossible. Withstood the encirclement and suppression of so many armies!
Zhao Yun said with relief: "There must be loyalty within ten steps. Although the terrain in the south of the Yangtze River is not as good as that in the middle of Sichuan, it is also hilly, and the entire family of the Han Dynasty is gathered here. They will not see the big army occupying the south of the Yangtze River like this." Well, even if our army is dispersed by the Dagan army, as long as we fight guerrilla warfare in these hills and mountains, we can delay the Dagan army for several years!"

Zhao Yun is now disposing of the nobles in central Shu, and the conflict between the two sides is no longer reconcilable. Liu Bei can only recall him to the front line again, and the one who sits in Chengdu is the young Fa Jianyong!Anyway, the war has been fought until now, and there is nothing urgent in Chengdu!
"If it doesn't work, the general can retreat to Nanzhong and Jiaozhou. Even the talented and generous Emperor Shihuang spent 50 troops to conquer the land of Lingnan. When I retreat to Lingnan, there may not be a comeback!" Yuan Ji said through gritted teeth.

Liu Bei stopped talking. Lingnan is a place of smog and exile for officials. Now it is not a dream to rely on such barren mountains and mountains to make a comeback, but Liu Bei is not willing to do so if he is asked to surrender to Lei Gong!
Yuan Ji seemed to know that he had said something frustrating, so he immediately made amends and said: "Our investigation found that Zhang Baiqi led an army of 3 to Xiliang. It may be that the Qiang people in Xiliang are in turmoil. One change, after all, the Qiang people have rebelled against Han for hundreds of years, and Lei Gong may not be able to suppress them!"

For Yuan Ji, Xiliang is a place full of rebels. It makes no sense that these rebels have become more stable after being in the hands of Lei Gong. Now Xiliang has been in Lei Gong's hands for 10 years. The reaction of the Qiang people should be big. Probability thing!
Speaking of this matter, Liu Bei cheered up. If there is turmoil in Xiliang now, it will be good news for Liu Bei. If the Qiang people can threaten Sili, Lei Gong's rear will be unstable, and Lei Gong will have to retreat.

"Shi Ji, ask more about Xiliang's information!" Liu Bei seemed to have grasped a life-saving straw, but he didn't know that this was a sharp knife stabbing the heart of the big man!

On October 10th, Zhang Baiqi, who had been marching for more than a month, suddenly rushed to Guangrou County like a divine soldier. There were only a few dozen government servants in Guangrou County, and they could not stop Zhang Baiqi's 15 army. It was breached within an hour.

The big army has entered Shuzhong!

The news was like a hurricane sweeping through the whole of Shu, the nobles in Shu and the senior officials of the big Han were terrified. They couldn't figure out how Zhang Baiqi's army entered Shu!

But Zhang Baiqi didn't care whether they could figure it out or not. Instead, he used Wubao, a powerful family, as a granary all the way to attack the city, and then contacted Guan Hai in Guangyang County, and recruited the people in central Sichuan by opening warehouses to distribute grain. join the army.

But the nobles on Zhang Baiqi’s army road were terrified by Zhang Baiqi. In addition, they had intended to complain to Liu Bei, so they basically surrendered in anticipation. Many shameless families simply opened their own docks , Let Zhang Baiqi be stationed, and at the same time express his admiration for Lei Gong, and he is willing to do his best for King Lei Gong!

If in the Central Plains, Zhang Baiqi would not accept the refuge of these powerful clans, but here his army went deep into the middle of Shu, and these people could rely on them to strengthen his army, so Zhang Baiqi agreed to the refuge of these powerful clans .

So when Zhang Bai rode his army under Chengdu, the 3 army in his hands had become 10, and there were nearly [-] women and children behind him. Although these people could not fight, they could be powerful. The Zhang Baiqi who came out knew how to make these women and children strengthen his own momentum.

When Zhang Baiqi led the army to surround Chengdu, Emperor Xian and the ministers of civil and military affairs came to the city tower, looking at the banners of the Dagan Army outside the city, and the countless people who surrounded Chengdu with ants, all of them changed their colors in horror.

Emperor Xian panicked and said: "Could it be that the great army flew to Chengdu from the sky, why did Lei Gong surround Chengdu before the news of the general's defeat came!"

Jian Yong, who was at the side of Emperor Xian, said with a wry smile, "These are the people in the middle of Sichuan. Although there are large armies, they are not many. It's just that Chengdu is in danger now!"

Emperor Xian supported the city wall with his hands, his body trembling slightly, his body and mind were covered with fear, the big army unexpectedly came to Chengdu, and surrounded Chengdu, but the general was not by his side, the big man was about to die!

Jian Yong noticed Emperor Xian's fear, and comforted him: "With the minister here, His Majesty must not be harmed, and now there are only a small number of elite troops under the city, and there are 5000 soldiers in Chengdu, plus the city is strong, the big army is It is impossible to take down Chengdu, and when the general notices the surprise soldiers of the Dagan army, he will definitely return to help, and then we will be saved!"

But it was too early for Jian Yong to speak big, just as his words fell, the west gate of Chengdu slowly opened: "Please also invite General Zhang Baiqi to enter the city!"

Zhang Baiqi laughed loudly when he saw this scene: "I will do what I said, and you can keep all your property except the land. Don't block the gate of the city now. I am going to catch Emperor Han."

Jian Yong and Emperor Xian who were watching on the city wall were speechless, they were betrayed!
Jian Yong sternly said: "You must run away quickly, my servants are blocking Zhang Bai from riding them, Your Majesty should run away quickly."

After speaking, Jian Yong said to his personal guards: "You must lead Your Majesty to escape from the middle of Sichuan. Flee in the direction of Jingzhou, and you must join the general and tell the general what happened in Chengdu.

"The last general takes orders!" His personal guard commander carried Emperor Xian on his back and fled immediately.

But it was already too late. Most of the people staying in Chengdu were related to the nobles in central Shu, and even their nephews. The relationship with the powerful and noble families prepares talents for the emperor.But when the power of the great Han declined, Emperor Han was decisively betrayed by the powerful and noble families in central Shu.

They saw that Emperor Xian wanted to escape, and slowly surrounded him. Obviously now that Chengdu has been donated, capturing Emperor Xian is the greatest contribution.Thousands of Imperial Guards in Central Shu surrounded Emperor Xian, even though Jian Yong and the others tried their best, they were all captured alive!

Half an hour later, Ba Xiandi and Jian Yong, who belonged to the powerful family in central Shu, sent them to Zhang Baiqi in a bundle and said, "General, Emperor Han has been captured by us, please deal with it!"

Zhang Baiqi looked at them with disgust.Even if Emperor Han was an enemy, but he was caught by his Imperial Guards, he still looked down on such a traitor!

Of course, these flattering aristocrats didn't take it seriously, they wanted to survive, and they didn't care about it. Those who were truly loyal to the big man had already followed Liu Bei to the front line of Hanzhong and died in battle. Those who stayed here were all for their lives.

Zhang Baiqi looked at the frightened Xiandi again and said, "Little emperor, don't worry, our big army will not kill innocent people randomly. Although you are the emperor of a big man, we know that you have been a puppet since you were a child, and you have never done anything evil. .Even if you are caught by us, you will not be beheaded. You will be imprisoned for a few years at most, and you will be released after some education.

We have already said in power that the evil things done by the big man were not done by the emperor alone, nor was it the fault of the emperor alone. Ninety percent of the things are done by these elites, so we have to deal with the world's elites when we work hard.

Add all the sins to a person like you who has just grown up. Our governance is not so stingy. "

Xiandi, who was still a bit panicked at first, finally calmed down a bit when he heard this.The little man was saved, and then there was a burst of sadness in his heart, and the big man was dead.

After Chengdu was breached, Zhang Baiqi began to lead the army all the way to the east. Luo County, Mianzhu, and Pei County all waited and surrendered. His family will definitely be hit hard.

As a result, these noble families in central Shu not only surrendered, but also joined Zhang Baiqi's army with their own families. Already exceeded 1 people!

At the same time, Chengdu fell, and the news of the emperor's capture also spread to Liu Bei in Hanzhong. Liu Bei almost fainted. When Emperor Xian was arrested, the Han Dynasty would have no emperor. When Chengdu was conquered, the hundreds of thousands of troops in Hanzhong would have no rear. , Their food and grass will be cut off immediately!The army in Liu Bei's hands can be said to be in a dead end!
